DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

1. 
   We believe in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures. The Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments, reveals God, the fall of man, the way of redemption, and God’s plan and purpose for man through the ages (2Tim.3:16-17; 2Pet.1:20-21; Jude 3; Gen.1:1; Gen.3).
   
2. 
   We believe the Lord our God is one Lord, existing eternally as Three in One: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, co-eternal, co-equal, and co-substantial (Deut. 6:4; Gen.1:26; Mat. 28:19; 1Cor.8:6; Phil. 2:6).
   
3. 
   We believe in the personal, visible, and premillenial return of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; 1Thes.4:16-18; Rev.20:4-6).
   
4. 
   We believe in the deity and virgin birth of Jesus Christ (Isa.7:14; Mat.1:23).
   
5. 
   We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe in the retribution of the wicked and unbelieving, and that the reward and the retribution are literally and conscious (John 3:16; Eph.2:8-10; 2Cor.5:1; Luke 9:2; 16:19-31; Mat. 25:46; 2Thes.1:7-10).
   
6. 
   We believe that the Great Commission was, and is, an impartial command to every born-again, baptized believer to proclaim the gospel in the missionary spirit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Mat.10:27; 13:10; 24:14; 28:19; Luke 16:15; 24:47).
   
7. 
   We believe Christians are commanded to be a separated people (2Cor.6:14-18; Ezra 6:21).
   

MISSION STATEMENT

Flint Hill Christian School exists to challenge young people to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, to live according to biblical principles, and to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to serve God and others.

PHILOSOPHY OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Christian education is based upon God and those absolutes established by Him. God sustains a systematic order from the vastness of space to microscopic creation. In the physical, mental, and spiritual realms, God is the personally interested heavenly Father.

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

Within the context of its theological convictions and mission, Flint Hill Christian School hires staff of any race, color, gender, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to staff at the school.
